I have an Inspiron 1300. I noticed the power jack has six posts and one post has no solder on it. Is this normal or do I solder all six posts?

I discovered your site while trying to find info on a bum laptop screen. I am in no way qualified to attempt your approach to replacement…..but I wondered. I turn the computer on – everything lites up, fans blow, cd/dvd whirs but no screen – blackness. Is this a simple bulb fix or something more costly. It’s a 13 month old HP Pavillion dv2000 series….1 dang month out of warranty.

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Taskmanager_error.htm

It has information about your particular problem. I would also recommend running an Anti-Virus / Spyware program to make sure something isn’t taking over your system. Either way, that should help get you started.
